What Can Be Done to Mitigate the Toxicological Impacts?
Several strategies can be employed to reduce the toxicological impacts of power plants:
Transition to cleaner energy sources: Shifting from coal and natural gas to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power can significantly reduce emissions. Implementing advanced technologies: Using carbon capture and storage (CCS) and other advanced technologies can mitigate emissions from existing plants. Stricter regulations: Enforcing stricter emission standards can compel power plants to adopt cleaner technologies. Public awareness and advocacy: Educating the public about the health risks associated with power plant emissions can drive policy changes and encourage community-level initiatives.
